I mean, why throw yourself to the wolves, right?
So much to say about The Dark Below, right? And this insane design for updating Exotic gear, the total lack of a mechanic for Legendary gear. All that grinding for Iron Banner gear that became obsolete nearly immediately. The slap-in-the-face lockout of people who haven't bought the DLC yet from the Weekly Strike and Nightfall Strike. Oh, and today, the Daily mission - locked out of that, too!
So much to discuss. At least there's maybe that Crucible Inferno mode on the horizon, yeah?
I guess we can just wait for someone to throw up a smokescreen with a community focus article. Someone out there became a Legend, right? Maybe someone else made a website that picked up the slack from the design failures of the game, like that DestinyLFG site tries to create some measure of matchmaking for the Raids. Maybe somebody else has bench-pressed a bunch of Ogres, or run over a lot of Dregs in a Sparrow, or collected the most Spinmetal. Legends, you know?
UPDATE: Thursday Update showed up at last! As you might have guessed, it totally avoided the minefield of recent controversy and went with pure fluff. A+ deflection!

Bungie and Actvision have proven their supposed commitment to the community was nothing more than a little PR. I remember my eyes opening to this when I saw a thread trending a month or so ago addressed to Deej about a community concern for Destiny's laundry list of issues. The OP's argument was respectful, well written, and well supported. The OP didn't make a thread ranting and bashing he even went as far to compliment Bungie on what he thought they did well with the game. The thread eventually did catch the attention of the "community manager" (that job title must be under the word "fallacy" in Bungie's dictionary). After reading the concerns of a large portion on the community, Deej responded with: "Known ask. Petitions make me sad." At no point in the OP did he ever say anything about a petition, but even if he had there is nothing wrong with petitions. The fact that our community manager tells the community he wants our support and feedback one day, then condemns those who do the next is sickening. This is NOT the Bungie who made Halo, that much is clear.
